Some of my favorite paintings are scenes of Jesus whiping people and flipping tables
I’m not a huge fan of the Bible but isn’t this the bit where Jebus gets pissed at the money changers for charging fees?
Jesus would flip a fucking table. That is a biblical fact.
And suddenly I feel like watching pro wrestling 😇
And his name is ... THE MESSIAH!
Jesus at the Temple
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’
Damn, Jesus was such a liberal hippy, eh?
